Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca spoke about their defeat to Legia (1:2, first leg - 3:0) in the return leg of the Conference League quarter-finals.
According to QOL.az, the specialist said that although they passed the stage, the result did not satisfy him:
"We are unhappy with the defeat. I think we tried to protect the result of the first match. We rotated the players a little, we wanted to avoid injuries. Because an important game awaits us in the Premier League on Sunday."
Although the result does not satisfy us, we are already in the semi-finals. The main thing is that we have no injured players. Our goal is to move forward. The players must be in good physical shape. I hope that Nicolas and Cole will start scoring goals very soon. Because they are very important to us."
It should be noted that Chelsea will face Djurgården in the 1/2 final. The first semi-final matches will be held on May 1, and the return matches will be held on May 8.
